IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Signal Word DefinitionsDANGER Indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. Usage of this signal word is limited to the most extreme situations.WARNING Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious in jury.CAUTION Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided may result in minor/moderate injury or product/property damage. It also alerts against unsafe practices.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to rain or moisture.

WARNING: To prevent the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

WARNING--To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or serious personal injury:

• HEED WARNINGS. Adhere to all warnings in the operating instructions and on the Digital Picture

Frame itself.

• WATER AND MOISTURE. Do not use the unit near water or expose to rain or moisture.

• ATTACHMENTS. Use only manufacturer-recommended attachments or accessories.

• ACCESSORIES. Do not place the Digital Picture Frame on unstable cart, stand , tripod, bracket,

or table. The unit may fall, causing injury to you and serious damage to the product.

• VENTILATION. Position the Digital Picture Frame so that its location does not interfere with its

proper ventilation. For example, the unit should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or similar

surface that may block the ventilation opening, or placed in a built-in installation, such as a

book-case or cabinet, that may impede the plow of air through the ventilation openings.

• HEAT. Position the Digital Picture Frame away from sources of high heat such as radiators or

stoves.

• POWER SOURCE. Connect the Digital Picture Frame to a power supply only of the type

described in the operating instructions or as marked on the unit.

• GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION. This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating

current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power

outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,

try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your

obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

• POWER CORD PROTECTION.

-Mains plug is used as the disconnect device. It shall remain readily operable and should not be

obstructed during intended use.

-Route power cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or

pinched by items placed on or against them, paying particular attention to the point where the cord

attaches to the Digital Picture Frame.

• OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING .If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the

product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against

voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure,

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE.

Glossary of Terms

Aspect Ratio

The ratio of the length of an image to its width. Most computer s

images that have an aspect ratio of 4:3.35mm film and some digital cameras shoot images

that have aspect ratio of 3:2.

AVI®Audio Video interleave; a Microsoft - specified format for saving audio and/ or video clips.

Flash Drive (Pen Drive)

A storage module made of flash memory chips that allow data to be easily transferred from

one device to another.

Flash Memory

is not applied. Flash memory is used in many applications including PDAs, hardware MP3

players, and some digital cameras.

JPEG

Joint Photographic Experts Group; the development group for a compressed 24-bit

color image storage format that also bears its name.

Memory Card

The system used to store images by most digital cameras. Unlike a computer memory card,

this card retains data even without electricity.

Mp3

A compressed digital audio file format. The format enables almost CD quality sound

(depending on the compression ratio) at a fraction of the size of normal audio files.

Mega Pixel

One million pixels. A high mega pixel rating typically equates to a high maximum

performance for graphics, or better quality pictures for digital cameras.

Important Safeguards

grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna

discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,

location of antenna discharge unit, connection

to grounding electrodes, and requirements

for the grounding electrode. See figure below.

•

•

LIGHTNING. For added protection for this

product during a lightning storm, or when it is

left unattended and unused for long periods of

time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect

the antenna or cable system. This will prevent

damage to the product due to lightning and power

lines surges.

POWER LINES. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power

lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When

installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power

lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

• NON-USE. Unplug the power from the outlet when the unit is not in use.

• AVOIDING SURGES. For added protection during a lightning storm, unplug the Digital Picture Frame

from the wall outlet to prevent damage to the product due to power line surges.

• OVERLOADING. Do not overload wall out lets or extension cords.

• OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or Splashing and that

no objects filled with liquids, such as Vases, shall be placed the apparatus.

• DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE. Seek service by qualified service personnel when:

- The power supply has been damaged.

- Liquid has been spilled onto the Digital Picture Frame.

- The unit has been exposed to rain.

- The unit does not operate normally, or exhibits a marked change in performance.

- The unit has been dropped or physically damaged.

•

•

•

• SERVICING. Do not attempt to service the Digital Picture Frame beyond those means described in

these operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.

REPLACEMENT PARTS. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has

used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original

part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service

technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING. The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as

recommended by the manufacturer.

CAUTION-- To reduce the risk of personal injury or product/property damage:

• CLEANING. Clean the outer surface of the Digital Picture Frame (excluding the screen) gently

condensation. Condensation may occur on internal operating parts of the product. Condensation

occurs:

• When the product is brought from the outdoors into a warm room, or if it is in a cold room which

is heated quickly.

• If the unit is moved suddenly from an air-conditioned room or car to a hot or humid location.

Should condensation occur, the product may not operate properly. WAIT 1-2 hours (to allow the

internal parts to adjust to the surrounding temperature) before using the product.
